Cool idea, but I'm afraid that's not a viable option.

Yep. I worked through several reasons why it wouldn't be viable, so glad to know I was on the right track there

Anything on the printed sticker seems like a much more viable option than the blank. Printing is much easier than molding.

Thanks for the good suggestion. The plan now is to have some kind of icon near the top of the token that will appear on Common (Circle - 1 side), Uncommon (Ellipse - 2 sides) and Rare (Triangle - 3 sides) tokens. If you don't see any icons, then you know they are special tokens and should be looked up on tokendb.com.

I'm in the letter camp.

It's very easy for symbols to get misprinted. Will always have some misprints but should have fewer with letters as they don't look anything alike.

I am very excited for this change! Thank you for taking the time to listen to and help us colorblind (and a lot of other folk too apparently) folk out!!!

Thank you. I know I have difficulty distinguishing black and green tokens. Having an icon is great. I do very much wish the completion tokens would have a different icon. I have some difficulty remembering which are which.

They do have a marking on them right now if there is no further change. Modern completion tokens have 2 dots on either side of the transmute good. See below

I imagine Trent’s wallet felt a disturbance in the force on that thought...
